Aren't there PDP 11 emulators that would run your program without relying on aging hardware?
Don't buy their products, purely for philosophical/philanthropic reasons.
Smugness come in to it too, or was that just why you felt the need to share this with the world?
But the average person would hire someone to do it, while these days the average person could probably set up a wifi network by themselves, or have the neighbors kid do it.
No the average person would ask "the guy next door who knows about computers" to "pop round and help sort out the network". In return for a cup of coffee.
Not really. $600-$800 phone every 2 years plus the contract which can easily cost you $800-$1200 a year. You can afford to buy a cheap used car if you cancelled your phone for a few years.
Comparing a new premium phone with a cheap used car is like comparing apples with.... oh, wait!
If your number of women employed is 10%, and your number of women applying compared to men is 10%, what's the problem?
If a company isn't attractive to a significant group of potential job applicants, it may well be that sooner or later the same group will be less interested in buying it's products. It's just bad business.
Not so different...
As I understand Siri, the phone only activates the voice command function (and thus sends what the phone hears to Apple HQ) when the home button is long pressed (unless "hey Siri" or the older "raise to talk" IIRC is activated). If you want voice commands on a Smart TV, it seems they are eavesdropping all the time. Together with what seems to me to be a bit of a luke-warm statement on privacy of this data from Samsung, this seems to be qualitatively different, IMO.
Sure fella, or your fucking epileptic ass can TRY A DIFFERENT PRODUCT.
I think it's pretty obvious he meant an epileptic would be driving a car and get a seizure due to passing by a biker with this. Use your brain, asshole.
In most online discussion of cyclists vs car drivers the use of brain seems to be frowned upon.
To thine own self be true. (If not that, at least make some money.)
